A wide range of subjects are covered supported by a wealth of statistical information – urban development Liverpool's population the growth of Liverpool's trade and commerce and the development of Liverpool's civic institutions. There is also much detail on the part Liverpool had been and was playing in the slave trade at the time of writing.</p><p>It has been suggested that Wallace's text which was seeking to inspire pride in the city's achievements viewed the sheer scale of Liverpool's slave trade as a corner-stone to its success. for example he compares Liverpool's 'wise' approach to the slave trade in contrast to Bristol's 'short-sighted' focus on plantations.</p><p><strong>As this volume is heavier than a standard volume the shipping costs will be greater than that quoted for a standard shipment.

Mild foxing and age-browning. Miscellanies in Prose and Verse was a joint enterprise between Swift and Pope with contributions by other leading satirists including John Gay and John Arbuthnot. As Swift and Pope explained in the preface to the first vol. of the series this was an attempt to supplant earlier unauthorised similar editions: 'Having both of us been extreamly ill treated by some Booksellers . it was our Opinion that the best Method we could take for justifying ourselves would be to publish whatever loose Papers in Prose and Verse we have formerly written'. The miscellanies first published between 1727 and 1738 thus stand as a monument to a great literary friendship and an act of self-definition by Swift and Pope. This is vol. V only.
